FAR 91.503 states that the charts need to be current but that does not cover this aircraft type. (Subpart F-large & turbine powered multi-engine)

Printed on the front of the sectional charts it states: This chart will become OBSOLETE FOR USE IN NAVIGATION upon publication of the next edition sheduled for (date).

I do not feel like digging anymore, but if you know this common belief is incorrect, by all means, fill me in.

Edit: I found the following in the Aeronautical Imformation Manual: AIM 5-1-1 e) Pilots are URGED to use only the latest issue of aeronautical charts in planning and conducting flight operations.

You win John!

I am not one to make up extra rules to live by, I am sure I have been told this my many over the years (probably even my flight instructor). Why is it that this myth (if it is indeed a myth) has endured for so long. I have heard guys worry about getting a ramp check when after looking at their chart they realize it is out dated. Is this just a myth in the midwest?
